About

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Mathematical Engineering at the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. My research combines computational hemodynamics and gradient-free optimization, with a particular emphasis on the total cavopulmonary connection.

Contact & Office Hours

• Office: Room T111, Trojanova 13, Praha 2
• Office hours: Tuesdays 12:00–15:00 (or by appointment)

Research Focus

• Computational fluid dynamics of cardiovascular flows in large vessels
• Shape and topology optimization of vessel-inspired geometries
• Gradient-based and derivative-free optimization, uncertainty, and robustness
• MRI-validated flow phantoms

Projects

• Inter-Excellence LUAUS25049 — Translation of mathematical modeling and optimization techniques to cardiovascular medicine. My work focuses on geometry optimization of the total cavopulmonary connection using the lattice Boltzmann method, with integration of clinical data and experimental validation.
• GA24-11247S — Off-diagonal thermodynamics and its connection with other factors as a route to predictable selectivity in C-H bond cleavage. I develop automated workflows for predicting bimolecular reaction barriers and perform the associated statistical analyses.

For Students

If your interests overlap with my work in mathematical modeling, optimization, or scientific computing, feel free to get in touch. I am happy to discuss supervision options, project ideas, or other ways we can collaborate on topics that excite you.
